Targets and Stops disappear overnight

I am back-testing a Spreadsheet study. My targets are set from the Trade Management by Study and my stops are set directly from the Spreadsheet Study. Orders enter as attached orders. TIF is set to Good Till Cancelled.

PROBLEM: At the end of the day (23:59:59), my targets and stops disappear leaving only an open order. This creates havoc with the back-testing.

I have read other posts with the same issue. The general response has been to put TIF to Good Till Cancelled. BUT that is not working for me. There is some other issue that I need to uncover and fix.

Thanks,

Gary

I have observed the same thing.

The TIF 'Good Till Canceled' acts like 'Day'.

Hi,
I had the same problem and solved it. Just talk to other users maybe how the problems happened, TimeInForce/TIF should be set on both Main tab & Targets tab of the Trade Window.
